Synthesis Problem -- Adding ch3oh concentrated H2SO4

(1/1)

hilsenna:
Hello,
 
Why this reaction resulted as in the figure, and why COOH turned into OH? Does anyone know name of this reaction, so i can research about it.

rolnor:
Can you maybe rotate the product structure?

hilsenna:
I see, I was not expecting this to be rotated. Thanks!!

Babcock_Hall:
The reactant you showed is a derivative of cyclohexane, whereas the product is a derivative of benzene.  One of the two is very likely to be a transcription error.
